What did your append line look like ? It should have worked.
Linux (at least with kernels 1.2.x) only autoprobes for one ethernet card.
If you want to use more ethernet cards, you'll have to specify *all* the
cards manually in /etc/lilo.conf:
append="reserve=0x200, 32 ether=0, 0x200, eth0 reserve=0x300, 32 ether=0,
0x300, eth1"
Hope this helps,
